Lightest android browser

Chrome OS announcements over the past month have had more to do with software than with anything on the hardware front. Alongside the launch of Chrome 72, hints have landed in the Chromium Gerrit pointing toward more detachable Chromebooks or tablets incoming as well as more convenient linking, and better multimedia control possibly arriving within the next few updates. Version 72 of Chrome OS brought a major security fix for network management and added in a 'tablet mode' in the three-dot browser menu to make Chrome easier to use on a tablet or 2-in-1 in tablet mode. The file system received some improvements too, with Android apps now able to access external storage mediums. Aside from the storage adjustment, Android app shortcuts -- accessed by alt or right-clicking an app icon -- can now be found via the launcher's search bar. In terms of hardware, one or two new devices landed in February and both Lenovo and Acer have officially dropped their most powerful version of … [Read more...] about 10 Best Google Chromebooks You Can buy Right Now

Motorola recently celebrated 45 years of mobile phone manufacturer. The company behind the world's first commercial handheld mobile phone has certainly come a long way over the decades.

The Kyocera KY-O1L, for example, is about the size of a credit card and is being called “the world’s thinnest and lightest phone.” The minuscule device is made by Kyocera and is coming to Japanese mobile phone operator NTT DoCoMo next month. It weighs just 47 grams and measures 91mm x 55mm x 5.3mm. The Kyocera KY-O1L features a 2.8-inch monochrome e-ink screen, similar to the kind used in e-book readers. It’s also got a 380mAh battery, LTE connectivity, and what’s presumably a pretty basic web browser, but it doesn't use apps or have a camera.

This is a credit card-sized device that weighs only 47g and is 91mm x 55mm x 5.3mm. NTT Docomo, the Japanese carrier that will release the phone, claims that it is both the thinnest and the lightest in the world.
